STERLING, MA — Local and state fire officials are investigating a fire that badly damaged the Davis Farmland's large corn maze on Tuesday.

Officials have not said the fire was set on purpose, but have said it is "suspicious," according to reports.

The fire broke out on Tuesday morning at the mega-maze, which is across Redstone Hill Road from the main Davis Farmland property. The maze is closed during the summer, and typically opens in September for fall.
